Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel

Can outside food and water be taken into any of the Disney theme parks?

- Asked by Bertha from Texas on 7/14/2009

Yes. I often bring snacks or a beverage into the WDW theme parks with
me. Particularly when my children were small and had very particular
food idiosyncracies, I always brought their favorite foods with me into
the parks, as that was all they would really eat. Many people will
bring baby food or a bag lunch with them for reasons ranging from
allergies to convenience to budget.

While you are allowed to bring food, there are limits as to the
container you can bring the food in. Wheeled coolers are not allowed
and the lockers at the parks are not particularly large. My rule of
thumb is that if one person could comfortably carry the food you're
bringing in, then you're probably OK. A small soft-sided insulated bag
or cooler is a good choice if you're bringing lunch with you to the
park.

The only specific food items you cannot bring into the parks
with you are alcoholic beverage and glass containers (other than baby
food jars).
